@KatM@mastodon.social They should feel free to post here, just as I would feel free to block or mute them. I muted most ads/sponsors on twitter. @accretionist@techhub.social

Sen #ChuckGrassley (R)criticized the measure, which nonpartisan estimates say could lift 400k #children out of #poverty, because it could help #Biden’s #reelection campaign. He said he would evaluate the bill after the #House vote.
Sen #MittRomney (R),who supported previous #ChildTaxCredit expansions, called the new #legislation “excessive”& said it would turn into “another entitlement program which is massively expensive.”
(#entitlement = #Republican speak for #LowIncomeFamily programs)

#House votes to expand #ChildTaxCredit, beef up #CorporateTaxBreaks
The bill passed the House by a vote of 357 to 70. It would expand eligibility for the #child #tax credit among the lowest-income #families & adjust payments for #inflation for the 2024 & 2025 filing years.

EVERY media mention of border deal being torpedoed by congressional Republicans needs to include this phrase at the end:
“Because Trump told them to.”

Sen. Dusty Deevers' bill would ban sexting, even between consenting non-married adults. I wish these folks would get therapy

@carstenfranke I am shocked we can live in the same time period and think so differently. I can assure you, in my country, if a Danish member of parliament started bringing up bible quotes as an argument for legislation, she would be laughed out of the room, and on her way out, someone would shout “Separation of church and state — look it up!”
